From the Kotel to Moshav Mova Modi'in
Monday, October 5, 2009, C.E. Beit Hashoeva. The Birkat Cohenim – the priestly blessing at the Kotel. We walked. The boys scootered. With the Old City closed to cars, at least for the most part, they had the roads to themselves. They may start a ...

Time to leave

Dead Man Swimming
... hiked up to Cave 11 (noted Q11 in the scholarly books). It smelled like someone's bathroom - stinky. It is a one hour ride back to Jerusalem where we will stay two nights. Today was a hot and sweaty day - even the Dead Sea was warm. A few of us went ...

City of David
The city of David is really small compared to Jerusalem now. I guess that's to be expected though. Not a lot of it has been excavated, mostly because Palestinians own a lot of the land, and they can't sell it to Jews for fear of being killed by their ...
The Sea of Galilee
Early morning in Nazareth, nice breakfast and a good nights sleep. Our first stop today is the Spring of Mary. This is a natural spring located in the town of Nazareth - where the town - which would have been smaller in Jesus' day - got their water. As ...
